In 2006, Disney released a 2-disc special edition of its animated classic, "The Little Mermaid".

The bonus features showed a CG concept rendering of a ride that was designed based on the film, but never came to fruition.

The ride looked phenomenal, and ever since I've had my eyes and ears open wondering if they ever might actually go through with it.

The ride is currently under construction in the Paradise Pier area of the park.

If the footage from the special edition is any clue to what the ride will contain, then the ride will feature transport vehicles shaped like giant seashells similar to the clamshells featured at EPCOT's, "The Seas with Nemo and Friends".
